In all honesty, I agree with Todd in that this is a fake Gamma. However, I am also in the "it's a fake Zimmingham"camp made by Jack, or at least Jack's face spider.

It might not necessarily be 'fake' so much as 'the same thing as before with the effect generated by a different person'. Considering that Jack has been looking more and more like Zimmy lately, it might not be unreasonable to assume that the power station could affect him in the same way it affected her.

We do have precedent for hair length being a clue. Not-Kat in Zimmingham had slightly shorter hair and Tom later said he was disappointed that nobody picked up on it. What this means in the current event, I have noooooo idea.

Real-Gamma's hair is shorter. Pretty disappointed in you guys.

As an aside, I've had… hmm… experiences where I forgot who I was, or where I lost track of the solidity of reality.
Bloody scary, that. I can't imagine walking around like that all the time. I mean, the spiders must suck, but this is so much worse.

I also hope that Tom isn't going for a "This is really Zimmy looking like Annie" revelation. For one thing, it ruins the things that Annie would have been learning over the past several pages - because under that hypothesis, she wouldn't have learned them after all, but Zimmy would have instead. I don't think you're quite understanding the "this is really Zimmy" theory. I don't think anyone's saying it's been Zimmy THIS ENTIRE NIGHT. I'm certainly not. The theory is that it's been Zimmy for perhaps as long as the space of this current strip. Possibly not even as long as that. Maybe it's just been Zimmy since the moment she rounded the corner.

Real-Gamma's hair is shorter. Pretty disappointed in you guys. OK, I see a possibility of well deserved snark directed at over-analysis here, but on the off-chance: Looks about the same to me. Biggest change is the shape of Gamma's face, but I think that's not outside the boundaries of the changes we've seen in Annie herself, resulting in an overall more mature look.

It's interesting that Zimmy's clothes stay the same but Gamma has two separate outfits.

The theory is that it's been Zimmy for perhaps as long as the space of this current strip. Possibly not even as long as that. Maybe it's just been Zimmy since the moment she rounded the corner. But it still raises the question of where Annie went after she rounded the corner, if this is correct, and why, instead of following her efforts to solve the situation, we've suddenly switched to a Zimmy who believes herself to be Annie.

Oh sure, there's LOTS of questions to be had. I never said the theory explained everything. I just consider it a potentially interesting plot device.
This page raises so many questions it's futile to try to answer them all. The best we can do is grab hold of a guess about a few of them and try to hang on.

I'm sorry if I didn't read the past two pages, but has anyone yet considered that the reason Annie doesn't have the scar is because this IS reality?!?!
After all, we just went through several pages of Jones telling us that big enough overloads of the Zimmy-system causes her world to leak out into the real world! Zimmy's hell has just taken over the real world and Annie's in it, Gamma has been greatly affected by it, and Jones went through the wall and such because she wanted to avoid the slowly-increasing sphere of Zimmy world as long as possible (you know, along with not breaking the rope with her massive density).

Not to offend anyone guys, but Tom's characters can differ in their looks between appearances unintentionally. Check out the two last panels of [727], notice how Jones changes between them.
